Hello. I am attempting to try my luck at PHP. I can not figure out how to call the function in the PHP code. I keep getting a blank page.
I am using a simple html form with an input field and a submit button. When you enter in a particular letter grade, it should return a response based on their answer. Here are the bits of code. Thanks for any assistance.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Letter Grades</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="LetterGrades.php" method="get" >
<p>
Grade: <input type="text" name="grade" />
<input type="submit" />
</p>
</form>
</body>

break;
case "C":
echo "Your grade is fair.";

break;

return "You did not enter a valid letter grade.";
}
}
